Memories & Candles

My condolences & sympathies to the Smith family. I was a childhood friend of her son, Jim. Mr. & Mrs. Smith always made me feel welcome & part of the family. I have fond memories of being included in a family vacation to Phoenix and the many times I was brought along to Aquamarine. Her kindness has not been forgotten.

Mike and jim,So sorry to hear of your mom passing away..haven't seen either of you in years;but I do have wonderful memories of you two and your parents...Since my mom still lives in the house across from yours as a child .We often reminisce about the"old days" May your memories keep her close to your heart.

To the Wanda Smith Family: Wanda was a joy to work out with at Curves. She always had a smile on her face even though she was very quiet usually. I was happy when she was crowned Queen for the Tea we had a Curves. I have a couple of photos to give you. I was shocked when she told us her age. I want to be like her when I grow up, exercising on a regular basis. I read in her obituary that she was a secretary for Admiral HS, and I am sure that she was a smiling face for all the students and staff that passed by her desk.
May God surround your family and friend and give you peace and comfort. I lost my Mom age 83 on Oct. 7, 2011 and Wanda and I talked about my loss and she gave me comfort telling me to remember the good times. Now I will pass on her words to your family, remember the good times.
Your Mom was a "light" in this dark world and I look forward to seeing her again in Heaven when God calls me home. God bless each and everyone of you. You all have my sincere sympathy, Linda Chapple

My deepest sympathy to the family of Wanda. She was such a dear, sweet person, always so much fun and full of life. She will be dearly missed and will always be remembered at our retired secretaries luncheons.
